Hi Austin,
Thanks for your interesting post. I have excerpted above the only part that I didn't completely agree with, because I don't really think of the Law of One as saying that strong emotions like anger are a result of a distortion or blockage (any more than everything we experience is a result of a distortion or blockage). Instead I tend to think of the Law of One as encouraging us to treat them "as a teaching resource for self revelation," much as you describe yourself doing with regards to passive aggressive behavior.
Plenum, to answer your question: yes, definitely. As to how I deal with it when it arises, I still find this suggestion of Ra's to be extremely helpful:
Quote:The entity polarizing positively perceives the anger. This entity, if using this catalyst mentally, blesses and loves this anger in itself. It then intensifies this anger consciously in mind alone until the folly of this red-ray energy is perceived not as folly in itself but as energy subject to spiritual entropy due to the randomness of energy being used.
Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex. The other-self which is the object of anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation, all being reintegrated using the great energy which anger began.
